🏅Historic Moment! 🏅 Cindy Ngamba wins the first-ever medal for the Refugee Olympic Team in the women’s 75kg boxing semi-final! 🥉 Her bronze is a victory for all refugees. 🌏 Proud of you, Cindy! Your resilience and strength inspire us all. #ForThe100million

Outside my studio, a community member was using baby wipes to clean themselves in the heat, and unfortunately attracting a lot of negative attention from onlookers. I wasn’t even sure myself exactly how to help, or if it was appropriate to interject, but thankfully, outreach workers from UNITY ( a response by One City and supported in part by local business owners) met the individual and walked them to Trinity which has access to showers and proper hygiene supplies. Grateful the City can support the day program at Trinity run by One City.

It’s May Long Weekend. Cue the opening of the Locks for the season! 🇨🇦 Lock 20 is a beauty. Holiday Monday? We’ll be open at both locations: 📍Millennium Park 8-7 🌳 📍Canoe Museum 9-5 🛶

“It’s not just a building, it’s a hub where people have come together & the community has connected with families that stayed here.” Saying goodbye to Glebe House, where several hundred refugees spent their first nights in Peterborough peterboroughcurrents.ca/community/sayi… via @PTBO_Currents

It’s happening! Open for business May 13 at our 2nd location in this beautiful setting 🇨🇦 🛶 To visit the cafe, admission is not required. 9-5 every day except 9-8 on Thursdays. Open year round! Our seasonal location at Millennium Park is back at it May 1st. See you soon!

@rachkmc OK, I'll be in touch in five years.

I spent 5 yrs before I sent my first query just studying the industry. I read every available agent blog and query shark on the regular. I made myself known to editors by contest judging and gushing over books. I learned who repped who and every detail of a pub board.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. 72 brothers, sisters, partners, children, parents, friends in our small community have lost their life in the last 12 months in the @Ptbohealth region. I hope you can spend time today reflecting, learning and calling for action 💜

Hope can be defined in so many ways. This morning’s conversation at @onecityptbo was “Hope is good infrastructure.”

Instead of “outdoor living” meetings where @CityPtbo strategizes to clear encampments — I’d be interested in Encampment Support meetings where we can figure out how to keep people alive this winter and support their basic needs.

@CityPtbo Glad to see this road is being worked on. Thank you for asking for input from the community.

We’re seeking input on traffic detour routes as part of the planned Parkhill Road West Reconstruction Project. Visit our project page to learn about the project, review the detour plans & provide input. Hard copies are available at City Hall. ☑️connectptbo.ca/parkhill-road-…

Good morning to this woman. I hope she’s having a fucking gorgeous day 😍

@lalalalachica Congratulations on the hard fought win in the Town Ward. I look forward to seeing your dedication to our City in action.

@alexbierk Congratulations Alex. I look forward to hearing the ideas and seeing the hard work you bring to Council. All the love for you in the Town Ward.

Thank you everyone! I’m ready to get to work. Lots of love.

@JeffLealPtbo @PtboFedLiberals You are unambiguously clear on this and I appreciate that. I am interested in knowing if you would support a truly low barrier drop-in space for people to use at night time or 24/7. The current shelter system does not accommodate people with significant needs. What’s your plan?

Less than 2 weeks to the Folk Festival and we are still looking for volunteers! Let me know if you would like to help! #volunteer @PTBOTODAYca @Ptbo_Canada @PtboThisWeek #music

@regan_brannigan @TheAthleticUK No doubt. Maybe an off-season advisory role then.

@vanderherberg @TheAthleticUK Brighton is a bigger job than Canada

Brighton have beaten #MUFC at Old Trafford for the 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 time in their history as Erik ten Hag loses on his Premier League debut.

@TheAthleticUK As a Canadian, if England doesn’t consider him for their national team, we would certainly oblige. He’s done marvels with BHA, just think what he could do with an obscure team that has battled their way into the World Cup.

Loses Marc Cucurella and Yves Bissouma during the summer. Wins at Old Trafford on the first game of the season.

@TeleFootball Graham Potter is a great coach and it is evident his players trust him to manage the game. For a rising mid-level team on a low level budget, he’s done superbly.

🆕 season, same Graham Potter! 🔥 Where does he rank among the best managers in the Premier League? #TelegraphFootball #MUNBHA
